Los Angeles is known for setting trends. Some trends come and go and some trends turn into Los Angeles staples. With lifestyles that usually incorporate healthy choices, it’s no surprise Los Angeles has made the juicing trend a way of life. Juiceries are hotter than ever too. Here are best Los Angeles juiceries to get your nutrient packed drinks in any part of the city, any time of day.

Juice can be expensive with the amount of fruits and vegetables it takes to make one bottle. So, Clover has made it its mission to make affordable juice with nutritional benefits accessible to everyone with daily options including raw cold-pressed juices, made-to-order smoothies, wellness shots, kombucha on tap and Stumptown coffee. The popular juicery also offers sandwiches and salads, as well as vegan and gluten free baked goods. The one stop shop with health in mind offers a full menu of sandwiches and salads in addition to their juices and support sustainable, local and organic farming. This makes their menu change with the seasons based on what’s available.

Continuing the mission of Kreation Kafe, Kreation provides healthy and delicious drinks made to revitalize your body and mind. Serving pressed juices, made from farmers’ market 100% organic fruits and vegetables purchased locally, this conveniently located outpost is located throughout the city in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Manhattan Beach, Venice and Malibu and is easily accessible wherever you may be and whenever you need a juice. They also have “juicemobiles” which roam the streets of Los Angeles providing pressed juice while you are out and about. You can even get your juice 24 hours a day at their Beverly Hills Kreation juice ATM.

As easily one of the most popular juiceries with expanding locations throughout the area, Pressed Juicery realized early on that people need to have the ability to live a balanced and healthy life in a simple and convenient way. With the ability to hop online and order individual bottles or cleanse packages that are delivered straight to your doorstep, Pressed Juicery makes getting your nutrients as easy as ever. Before you fully commit, you can try the six bottle samplers to find which flavors you like for only $45. The juicery has locations throughout LA including Brentwood, Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, Larchmont, Malibu, Manhattan Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Studio City, West Hollywood and the Westwood Village.

Started by David Otto, who forty years ago, became a vegetarian to improve his health, Beverly Hills Juice began as an experiment by creating fresh juice that was healing. Sharing his creations with family and friends, they encouraged him to open up a store and in 1975, Otto opened a store in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Boulevard and later relocated to Beverly Boulevard. This tiny shop keeps its menu simple with categories including vegetable, fruit, coconut, citrus, ginger, by the shot and banana manna shakes. With the most expensive juice at $7.00, this is probably your best bargain when it comes to Los Angeles juice.

With locations in Venice Beach and now Silverlake, Moon Juice is a cold pressed, 100% organic juice and nut milk shop offering delicious and tasty options. Flavors like Goodness Greens, Golden Milk and Spiced Yam are made from raw vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts and seaweeds and offer healing qualities. One bottle of their juice contains over three pounds of raw, 100% organic produce and since they aren’t pasteurized, they are live and will maintain their nutritional stability for 72 hours after being pressed. The Moon Milk bar has customized milks with flavors created from their raw almond milk blended with nut butters, super foods, spices and low glycemic sweetness. You can also get creative and customize your own blend.

Pressing their juice fresh every day with 100% organic produce, Orchard Flats offers a wide variety of cold pressed juices in categories including antioxidant, detox, anti-aging, along with almond milk blends, supplemental waters, elixirs and a honeybee line of juice. In addition to taking your healthy seriously, they take using local ingredients seriously. Using honey from a local bee farm for their honeybee line and using only locally sourced fruits and vegetables to support local farmers, they are committed to getting their supplies from neighbors. Sales from their honeybee line go to “Project Apis “ to help cure the inexplicable loss of the world’s honeybee population as well. They stand by their motto: Live. Love. Juice.

In 2005, Executive Chef Kelly Boyer started PALETA in her kitchen by delivering healthy twists on gourmet cuisine with local ingredients from cruelty-free ranches and responsible fisheries. A survivor of a life threatening late stage cancer, Chef Kelly has made it her mission to introduce the world to a healthier lifestyle. Today, PALETA has expanded from meals to organic cold-pressed juices, cleanses and pressed juice detoxes that are all delivered right to your door. Once you sign up and receive your juices, physical benefits may include rapid absorption of nutrients, an improved cardiovascular system, weight loss, better digestion and an increased energy level. Although this is primarily a juice delivery service, you can also purchase these delicious juices in stores throughout Los Angeles including Studio K (Pacific Palisades), The Studio MDR (Marina Del Rey), UFC Gym (Torrance), Graffiti Cafe (Hollywood), BrewWell Coffeehouse (Koreatown) and Aura Yoga in West Hollywood.

Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, Sustain Juicery has designed their juicery differently than those you may usually find around the city. With a bare bones aesthetic and a no gimmicks attitude, they created an atmosphere that connects you and the juicetenders. This no fuss juicery has everything laid out in plain sight, so you will experience the smell, the colors, the feel and, of course, their fresh, cold pressed, organic juices. Sustain Juicery features seasonal, organic certified local produce, as well as exotic produce from around the world in their juices, smoothies, power shots and wellness cocktails.

With locations in West Hollywood, Manhattan Beach, Westwood and in Orange County, Nekter Juice Bar has taken the area by storm. The success of this juicery is largely due to its green-juice blends, gluten-free snacks and acai bowls. Known for cleansing products which are designed to rid the body of any toxic buildup, the juicery also offers more “regular” juices and smoothies as well. Our favorite healthy and delightful drinks include ‘The Buzz’ which comes with carrot, orange, lemon and ginger as well as the ‘The Cure’ (beets, broccoli, kale, parsley, celery, grapes and apple) and ‘The Sublime’ with lime, orange, parsley, kale, spinach and cucumber. Delicious smoothies include the ‘Banana Berry Burst’, ‘Pink Flamingo’ and the ‘Tropical Cooler’ with spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, coconut butter and coconut water. You really can’t go wrong with anything you order though.
